High-end audio brand HIFIMAN has created many popular models for music enthusiasts, from HiFi portable music players to high-end planar diaphragm headphones, HiFi wired headphones, and true wireless earphones. Among them, based on the Svanar TWS earbuds, the HIFIMAN Svanar Wireless, HIFIMAN Svanar Wireless LE and HIFIMAN Svanar Wireless Jr have been released successively to provide users with high-fidelity wireless sound quality experience.
HIFIMAN Svanar Wireless Jr is an entry-level HiFi TWS product positioned as light luxury. The appearance continues the design style of the Svanar series. It inherits the core characteristics of “Class A and B balanced amps” and “topological diaphragm”. Supports Bluetooth 5.2 and LDAC high-definition audio decoding.
HIFIMAN Svanar Wireless Jr supports ANC noise cancellation function, which can accurately identify noise and offset the noise through reverse signals, bringing a noise cancellation effect of up to 35dB depth. Supports ENC call noise cancellation, which can still maintain clear and efficient calls in noisy environments. The battery life is about 6 hours in HiFi mode, about 7 hours in ANC mode, and about 8 hours in transparency mode. The total battery life is up to about 32 hours.
